The Penitent Magdalene

Artist: Guido Reni (Italian, 1575-1642)

Date: 1630's

Medium: Oil on canvas

Collection: English Private Collection

Description

The image of Mary Magdalene was one of Guido Reni's most depicted subjects and he painted the saint in dozens of variations. The flowing, golden hair and red mantle are instantly recognizable as the Magdalene's attributes and here she is represented in bust-length, her hands crossed over her chest and her eyes raised heavenward. Though a halo of light radiates from her head, the background is otherwise simple and unadorned, suggesting that this work was intended for quiet contemplation.
